  • Patent number: 10748743
    Abstract: A method of operating a charged particle beam device is disclosed, including passing each of a plurality of beamlets through a deflector and a scanner, in that order.

  • Patent number: 8009299
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of calibration of the beam position of a corpuscular beam. A calibration body with structures is used, wherein the structures have a structure period PS in the plain section and within each structure there is a position L intended for the measurement. For the calibration, at least one detection signal each at structures in the plain section of the calibration body is generated, wherein the corpuscular beam is deflected with deflectors on beam target positions L1 with the beam target period P1, which is larger than half of the structure period PS, whereby a basic calibration is used for the control of the deflectors, and wherein the beam target deflections deviate either in the beam target period P1 from the structure period PS and/or in the beam target position L1 from the position L.
